MOF-Based Nanoarchitectonics for Lithium-Ion Batteries: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) contain a large surface area, a flexible structure, well organised pores, and homogeneous metal sites, making them promising models for nanostructured materials such carbon-based porous materials, metal oxides, phosphides, and carbides, and their composites. In addition, it has been shown that all of these MOF-produced nanomaterials perform exceptionally well in electrolytic power storage and transformation systems, particularly lithium and sodium ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with impressive performance have become an essential part of the electronics industry. High surface area MOFs with adaptable chemical structures and simple changes have been widely used in numerous applications, including gas absorption, drug delivery, and sensors. MOFs and their derivatives have also been utilised as efficient electrode components for LIBs. The present article first reviews the purpose of LIBs along with their foundations. Later, cutting-edge research on individual MOFs, composites based on MOFs, and products deriving from MOFs (metal, oxides and sulphides of metal) for LIB electrode materials is covered. Important process of synthesis and characterization methods for MOF based nanostructure materials are discussed in this review article. Finally, a brief discussion is made about the applications restrictions and potential future applications for the use of MOFs in LIBs.
